Systemethic TV

Systemethic TV is a suite of tools that allows you to simulate the operation of one or more digital television channels using videos sent to our servers (soon available) or videos from external sites (Youtube, Vimeo..), but also media of other types (text, images and sounds).

Systemethic TV is not a broadcasting company for audiovisual works, but a social network type tool allowing the sharing of videos, texts, images and audio files. Aside from the adaptability to Android TV, the main difference with most social networks regarding shared items is that the timeline is not defined based on shared items, but shared items are. depending on the timeline. Users can therefore position their content on specific dates and times. Users with access to a channel can either view any of its content from that channel, on PC, mobile or TV at the time of their choice, or play the content according to the timeline (or program schedule) defined by the owner of the channel, and thus benefit from a television experience.

Setting up channels and program schedules, as well as adding viewers or new channels with a code are actions that can only be carried out from the website. The programs can be viewed both from the website and using the Android TV and mobile applications.

With an Android TV box:
Download the application from your device on Google Play, launch it and connect!

With any type of device: Switch to mouse mode on your remote control and launch an Internet browser application, then enter systemethictv.com in the navigation bar. Once on the site, you can exit mouse mode and navigate normally with your remote control.

To set up a channel you must first set up programs. A quick way to generate programs is to convert playlists from Youtube. You can then set up a channel in less than 5 minutes by selecting the Editor tab -> Quick edit.

Public: users can find your channel using the corresponding code and send you an access request. You can then decide to grant or deny them access to your channel. You can also authorize users up front.

Private: users cannot find your channel or send you an access request. You will need to authorize the users of your choice by searching for their name or email address. Once permissions have been granted, the users concerned will have access to your channel immediately after entering their code.

Open: users immediately have access to your channel after entering their code, without the need for authorization.

A program on Systemethic TV is similar to a classic TV program. The latter may contain one or more videos from external websites, transitions containing text and/or an image and/or background sound and (coming soon) videos sent by you to our servers.

A transition is a still image/wallpaper that can contain background audio and text, both optional. Just like a schedule, a transition must have a defined duration by default. A transition can be placed in a program or in a programming grid with other programs/transitions. A transition can be used to make an announcement to viewers or indicate, for example, that no program is available. You can, of course, make your own transitions using videos

A schedule or programming schedule is a 24-hour time slot that contains all the programs/transitions to be broadcast over the course of a day. It is in a grid that you can arrange your previously constructed programs and transitions. Like programs and transitions, grids are independent of channels and can therefore be reused. A grid runs from midnight to midnight and may contain empty spaces. If you do not completely fill the grid (until midnight), it will be filled automatically with an empty transition containing the message - no program at the moment -. To set up your 24-hour schedule, you can select programs/transitions, but also empty spaces (without a program), and copy/paste/duplicate certain programs if you want to repeat them during the day. Note: to avoid time constraints linked to the arrangement of programs on a schedule, your last program may exceed the schedule by 2 hours (until 2 a.m.).

Super grids are the last elements you will need to put in place to be able to broadcast your channel. A super grid can span several weeks and contains a set of 24-hour grids (seen previously). A super grid must start on a Monday and must contain at least 7 days/grids or a number of days/grids that is a multiple of 7. You can also start a super grid from the last Monday. Unlike programs, transitions and grids, super grids must be linked to a chain. A chain can contain several super grids, but they must not overlap. The super grids will thus start in order according to their departure date. Please note: You can activate repetition on a super grid, so when all the grids of a super grid have been played and if there is no other super grid starting on the following Monday, your super grid will automatically restart and will continue playing until another super grid starts. Note: the repetition ends after one year; so you will need to update your super grid start date at least once a year if you only have one super grid and repeat is enabled on it.

The quick editor automatically builds your channel from the programs you insert by integrating them into 24-hour programming grids. These grids are then repeated if they do not reach 7 days, in order to generate at least one super grid that will be linked to your new channel. At the end of the generation, you must therefore have at least one week of programs that will be able to follow one after the other. Of course, the number of grids can be greater than 7, depending on the number of programs you insert in the editor before generation. Your generated channel can therefore contain varied programs that can potentially span several weeks. It is possible to activate repetition on the generated super grid in order to be sure that it will be repeated once it has reached its end. For example, a 7-day super grid will start on a Monday, play all week until Sunday and start again the following Monday. Combine the generation of programs by playlists or by search with the rapid edition and you will be able to generate a channel from scratch and in only ten minutes on a subject that interests you!

A large number of connected boxes available on the market come from abroad, so it is likely that the time configured by default on your box is that of its country of manufacture (China, Us, etc.). You can change the time zone of your box by going to the box's settings, so you will find your programs at the time they were programmed.
